Pegasus

"Pegasus"

What is all this hoopla about Pegasus? Does it affect only the Pigs & Asses? How does it bring harm to them? From the hullabaloo in that community one can assume that it is indeed very bad. All this is very confusing and unclear to us simple folks.

From time to time such balloons are released in the media to divert the attention of the masses from real issues. For example not long ago we were glued to our TVs/Phones watching the story of gelatin sticks planted opposite Antilia in a SUV in Mumbai. It created the excitement of a suspense movie, clever among us tracked every move of police, CBI, ED etc speculating arrest of top policemen, politicians even collapse of a state government & much more. Emotions ran high for a while but the fiz petered out on arrival of the next scam. Now there is not a squeak in hyper active media about the gelatin affair.

Now what is holding public attention is Porn in the film industry of Mumbai. A sleazy subject that has fired the imagination of viewers. All kinds of characters are crawling out of the woodwork making tantalizing statements. There is much money to be made while the going is good & demand for news continues to be high. Even before this story has run its course, Pegasus has appeared on the scene. But that is a subject for the elite & not masses who might like to pursue porn stories without distraction. 

In all this an extraordinary & rather comic story from Ahmedabad, of one central investigating agency raiding and catching officials of another central agency that deals with money laundering, entirely escaped public attention.

We badly need this kind of amusing diversion to forget the grim reality of governance-demise in our country.
